Our nursery is open but unfortunately we are not able to provide supervision.
The Intermediate and Senior Youth classes are held in the Parish House.
Children leave for their classes after the Children’s Talk and return for Communion.

Children are always welcome to remain in the service with their families

Today's Scripture passages:
1 Kings 19:1-4, 8-15a (page 397, GNB)
Psalm 42 & 43 (page 758, BAS)
Galatians 3:23-29 (page 253 GNB)

Communion
All are all welcome to receive the bread and wine.
If you do not wish to drink from the common cup, please just receive the bread
and refrain, for hygienic reasons, from dipping the bread in the wine.
Please be assured that receiving the bread alone is still a complete communion.

We offer a ministry of prayer at this Service. If you wish prayer come
to the front of the Church (by the Altar rail) at the end of the Service
and members of our Prayer Team will pray with you.
Ask and you shall receive (Matthew 7:7)

Flowers in the church today are offered to the glory of God and
in loving memory of George and Edith Thompson
given by their children, Marg and Bob and their families.
